When Walter Gropius created his renowned school of design and arts in 1919, he devised it as a place open to “any person of good reputation, regardless of age or sex,” a space where there would be “no differences between the fairer sex and the stronger sex.” His idea occurred in a period when women still had to ask permission to enter fields that were once off-limits. If women received an artistic education, it was imparted within the intimacy of their home. But at the Bauhaus and the Gropius school, they were welcome and their registration was accepted. Gropius’ idea was so well-received that more women applied than men.
